Agree with the raw food but a good grain free food can help. Be careful with the dips my bully died of liver failure after the dips.I was told by a different vet the injections are much safer. Another thing that I found help was adding coconut oil to the food and a good supplement like animal naturals immune dog.

Need ideas for a PVC make my own wheel chair. Xena our 1 year old bully rescue has deformed back legs and can no longer walk long distances, just down the driveway to the car wears her out. Would like to make one myself fiance is pretty crafty. Any tips ideas greatly appreciated

My vet/boss is very against raw diets says they are unsafe yada yada yada. I have herd her numerous times telling clients to take there dogs off raw for many reasons all proven by vet study's. I personally have never had a problem with raw diets and feed a pre made frozen with kibble. I figured it was just typical vet anti raw.

Ok the vet I recently started working for is a great lady but she showed me this vet study claiming that raw diets make leg problems and deformities worse especially in puppy's. I really doubt that but just needed some peace of mind. Curently xena gets a pre made raw mixed into her kibble and loves it and so far I dont see any issues. Ive fed raw off and on and try not to listen to my vet when they give me the killing your dog speach but when its your boss its a bit harder.

If you have a library card there is alot of good books out there on making your own dog food.The Good Food Cookbook for Dogs: 50 Home-Cooked Recipes for the Health and Happiness of Your Canine Companion is a god one.

I've been told numerous times that my pit mixes have a locking jaw and that as they get older there brains get to big for there head and makes them go crazy. I have also herd the females should have a litter before being spayed.

Any tips on socializing a fearful rescue? Shes a year old and spent her first year chained to a tree. She tends to sit with her tail between her legs and growl at any dogs that come near her or whine if she sees them running and playing around her. Walking to socialize is difficult as she has problems with her back legs and cant walk far. My local dog park has great people that don't mind her growling and looking like a nut they say she needs to come more and learn to like the other dogs. Any tips?
